Me 'ol back hurts....

From being humped up all day chipping
First was a Dove from Sonora flint. Then a Pine tree from Flint Ridge. And finally a Dalton from Texas root beer.
That Dalton gave me fits! At one point I was ready to throw it across the field
I was 3 small flakes away from finishing the serrations and got a little too comfortable and popped about 3/4" off the tip. Had to go back and rework the whole thing, resulting in it being a little thicker than I wanted and about an inch shorter.

Real nice blades, Shanon. I really like that rootbeer, Dalton. I've got to hit the rockpile this afternoon, finger is feeling better and I won't get a chance for a week or so, heading to Columbia Wednesday.

If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Time, dedication, cuts, tons of broken rock, a wife, and perhaps a few girlfriends are some of what it takes in becoming a skilled flint knapper!!!
